Research that starts with better questions

Design and business decisions can be shaped by preference, fear, or wishful thinking when evidence is lacking. Erika Hall’s guide focuses on the role of research in making those decisions more grounded: asking questions that address the actual problem and gathering information that can help answer them. The book is presented as a concise, practical handbook for situations ranging from early design work to difficult product choices and conversations with colleagues who may be uncomfortable acknowledging what they do not know. Its subject is not research for its own sake, but how to make research useful to the decisions at hand.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Designers beginning their careers who want a practical introduction to research.
  • People involved in product decisions who want to bring evidence into the process.
  • Colleagues helping teams become more comfortable identifying what they do not know.

Book overview

Most design and business decisions are based on some combination of personal preferences, fear, and wishful thinking instead of sound evidence. Most design research is ineffective because it isn't asking or answering the right questions.

Just Enough Research is here to help.

Whether you're just starting out in your design career, in the middle of a whole mess of product decisions, or trying to help your colleagues get over their fear of admitting ignorance, there is something in this book for you.

Just Enough Research has remained a popular handbook for over a decade, outlasting several technology hype cycles. It's brief. It's practical. It's got jokes.

Read this book. You will experience delight.
